EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Mauser 2000, 3000

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the optic be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when a rifle alternates between different sighting setups or needs easier transport.
• Steel construction: A steel build gives the mount the rigidity needed to handle recoil and keep the rail interface stable over time, supporting dependable alignment between rifle and optic.
• S&B Convex Rail interface: Built specifically for scopes with the Schmidt & Bender Convex rail, this version provides a direct, purpose-made fit instead of relying on ring mounting solutions.
• Rifle-specific lower fit: The mount is configured for the Mauser 2000 and Mauser 3000 platform, helping achieve the correct mechanical fit and a secure attachment to the action.
• Detachable hunting setup: A pivot mount is well suited to traditional hunting rifles because it combines a low-profile, classic mounting style with the practical ability to remove the scope when needed.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns. Developed by EAW more than 50 years ago, the series sits among the brand’s best-known hunting mounting solutions and remains closely associated with repeatable scope removal and reinstallation. The core idea is straightforward: the optic can be taken off the rifle and put back on without changing the point of impact, which makes the system useful for rifles that may carry a second scope or aiming device.

The series is built around a modular concept with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing the mount to be configured to the rifle and optic combination with the precision expected from a traditional steel mount. In practical use, that means a secure mechanical lock-up, consistent positioning, and the flexibility to tailor the setup to different firearm types. Within the broader EAW lineup, pivot mounts represent the classic detachable option for hunters and shooters who want a robust, repeatable mounting system rather than a fixed installation.

About the EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Mauser 2000, 3000

This version of the EAW pivot mount is configured for rifles based on the Mauser 2000 and Mauser 3000 pattern and is built to accept optics with the S&B Convex Rail interface. That makes it a dedicated solution for shooters who want the clean fit of a rail-mounted riflescope together with the practical advantages of a detachable hunting mount. Instead of using separate rings, the rail interface supports a direct connection to the scope body, which helps maintain alignment and simplifies the overall mounting layout.

The main advantage of this mount is its ability to combine repeatable reattachment with a traditional pivoting mechanism. For a hunting rifle, that matters when the scope needs to be removed for transport, storage, maintenance, or replacement with another sighting setup. Once properly fitted, the pivot system is designed to return the optic to the same position, preserving the rifle’s established zero. The steel construction supports this role by providing the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a recoil-bearing mounting component.

Because this model is tailored both to a specific rifle family and to a specific scope rail standard, it suits users who value a precise mechanical match over a universal mount. On classic Mauser-based sporting rifles, that translates into a mounting solution that keeps the optic secure, detachable, and consistent in everyday field use.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of scope mounts have been its primary focus. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the hunting and sporting optics market, where the brand is closely associated with traditional steel mounting systems and repeatable detachable designs.

Over time, the company expanded from Würzburg to Gerbrunn, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. EAW’s product range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts for riflescopes, alongside newer tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products. This background makes EAW particularly relevant in the mount category, where mechanical precision, repeatability, and rifle-specific fit are more important than broad one-size-fits-all compatibility.
